If I recall Clark's analysis ,he hedged his bets and really wasn't enlightening as he didn't want to harm his presidential possibilities.His accusation that the White House tried to have him fired is rather silly.

[dirtboy]

Insisting on the accuracy of his military analysis of the Iraq War, Clark said, "No one ever complained about my analysis being partisan except for [House Majority Leader] Tom DeLay

Another lie. Although Rummy didn't mention Clark by name when he criticized armchair generals issuing color commentary on the war, he clearly had Clark in mind with his comments.

[ConfusedAndLovingIt]

Insisting on the accuracy of his military analysis of the Iraq War ... "I was anything but biased. I was 100 percent objective. I called it right and I stand by the results," he said.

Does anybody remember if his analysis was right or not? Somehow I doubt it was, but I don't remember anything he said.

[Helotes]

Next, he'll be seeing black helicopters

[martin_fierro]

NO, NO, NO! 'Twas BLACK HELICOPTERS that did him in!

Here's the COMPLETE SCHEMATIC:

[Teacher317]

Yeah, CNN wouldn't run with THAT story if it had it! /sarcasm>

[BunnySlippers]

I don't have all the proof on this because they didn't call me. I've only heard rumors about it."

And yet, if you read the exact quote, he states it as fact.

[dead]

"The White House actually back in February apparently tried to get me knocked off CNN and they wanted to do this because they were afraid that I would raise issues with their conduct of the war."

Great Minds Think Alike.

(or at least that's what they WANT us to think.....)

[babaloo]

How pathetic is this guy? "They are out to get me" is a real winning campaign slogan. Another loser enters the fray.

[Norman Conquest]

He was the most consistently pessimistic -- AND WRONG -- of any military commentator on any network. Mainly, I suppose, because his experiences under Clinton blinded to him to the possibility that an American president might give the American armed forces the opportunity, means and motive to get the job done.

Try it again - you've only heard voices from your refrigerator. Did they say "ZUUL?"

LOL...now that's funny!

[Petronski]

That's hilarious.

[Dryman]

I try not to watch the Commie News Network, but can hazard a guess based on my lurkings here. My guess is that the Crazy Noose Natwork has no real connection with this White House, nor any desire to please the current resident.

With no connection other than to warp and mislead, the Network of Gehring for the Left chose to yield its indoctrination philosophy to an apparent Conservative Commander-in-Chief's wishes.

Hitlery came up with better paranoid conspiracies than that.

[stop_fascism]

Sounds as reasonable as there is a grass roots organization called "draftwesleyclark.com". Most grass roots organizations have DC addresses.;-)

No, it's actually worse than that. It was really the toaster throwing its voice.

[Alberta's Child]

DraftWesleyClark.com group commissioned a Zogby poll in which those surveyed were asked to select a candidate based on his bio without knowing the candidate's name.

I don't know why anyone even bothers to do this. Adolph Hitler would probably "win" one of these polls handily over any U.S. president in the last 50 years.

[prairiebreeze]

Paula Zahn, early last spring when she was still on the morning show, asked Wesley if he was intending to run. He ducked the question with a sly smile and she then asked if he would at least state what party he might run under. He ducked again.

This has been in the works for quite a while IMO. Stinks like a Clinturd too.

"Does anybody remember if his analysis was right or not? Somehow I doubt it was, but I don't remember anything he said."

Clark's accuracy compared favorably to Robert Fisk's and Comical Ali's, to give you a frame of reference...

[steveegg]

Get a load of this.

It figures the RATs would love a guy who traded a Nighthawk for a dozen Serb tanks and APCs.
